Interleukin-4 (IL-4) is a potent lymphoid cell growth factor which stimulates the growth and survivability of certain B cells and T cells.
IL-4 is a pleiotropic cytokine that is produced by activated T cells, mast cells and basophils.
IL-4 elicits many different biological responses, but has two dominant functions.
The first is regulating differentiation of naive CD4+ T cell to the TH2 type.
TH2 cells produce IL-4, IL-5, IL-10 and IL-13, which tend to favor a humoral immune response while suppressing a cell-mediated immune response controlled bu TH1 cells.
The second is regulating IgE and IgG1 production by B cells.
Recombinant IL-4 lacks all N-linked oligosaccharides to molecules highly overglycosylated, but all are fully biologically active.
IL-4’s biological activity is species-specific.
